CH extra 5

「Gijaa…」

「!《Thunderbolt》!」

――Bachi! …

「I- It’s not working… !」

Yellow eyes glow in the dark.

I couldn’t see all of it, but from my eye level, I guessed it was about five meters high.

I tried to hit it with 《Thunderbolt》, but it seemed to flow from its feet to the ground, so no luck.

I’m not sure, but I think it’s because the smaller ones are affected by the electric skills, but the bigger ones are too strong to be affected. I’m not sure, but it did work on those ones earlier.

「Then I’ll make it more powerful! 《Thunder Field》 and 《Water Splash》!」

《Thunder Field》 and 《Water Splash》 are two skills that increase the power of electric skills. 《Thunder Field》 is useful because it can electrify at LV. 5, and it also boosts the power of the next electric skill. And 《Water Splash》 is a water bomb that explodes when it connects. I used it to wet the opponent and make it easier to conduct electricity.

「Gijaja! !」

The large Ant (5m) waves its floating foreleg around as if to say it’s irritated.

「《Thunder Strike》! !」

――Gogogogogogo…… Ka… Dogoooooooooooooooooon! ! ! !

A tremendous roar rang out, and Ryoka covered her ears from the sheer volume of the sound.

And even though it was a single magic attack, it looked like a beam 3 meters in diameter pouring down from the ceiling.

Simply put, 《Thunder Strike》 is an enhanced version of 《Thunderbolt》.

The disadvantage of using this is that all the electricity I’ve charged up on the corpses and large ants around me will be lost. However, this will add to the attack power, and the resulting power will be immense…

The number of charged ant corpses that have fallen due to 《Thunder Burst》 and 《Thunder Field》 exceeds a staggering 200. What would happen if all of the electricity carried by that many ants were to gather at one point? It’s pretty obvious.

「Gigi… Ge… Gi… Gigi… Ja…」

――Dosuu… N…

If all the dust piles up, it becomes a huge pile… And so it was. The large ants that were originally brown had turned black, no different from normal ants.

「I’ve managed…」

But I’ve learned how to deal with these situations. The more of them there are around the boss, the better it is for me.

「Let’s keep going like this」

I placed the corpse in my inventory and headed back the way I came.

On the way back to the fork, I went to the right side of the road, but there was nothing special about it.

Then, the entrance to the side hole. Out of the entrance and further down.

It was about 70 meters to the next side hole that I could see from the entrance, and I prayed that a different enemy would appear, but that didn’t happen, and out came…

「「「「「Gijagijagija…」」」」」

「Not again!」

It was the ants again.

However, they were a different color than the ants I had seen earlier. While the ants from earlier were brown, the ones I was facing now were blue. The brown ants from earlier were named Soil Ant, so they must have been earthy. From that point of view, the blue ants were probably water-based.

「Isn’t this an advantage?」

It was a bad match earlier, but this time the side hole was a hit. But that didn’t mean I should let my guard down. I had to keep a steady pace.

「「「Giji――」」」

「― 《Thunderbolt》 《Thunderbolt》 《Thunderbolt》! ! !」

I quickly chanted the skill.

「「「「「Gijajajaja――」」」」」

「――《Thunder Spread》!」

――Bachibbadjidjidjidjidjidji! ! !

「Gija!」

「《Thun…》――! ?」

――Bashu! !

I was so startled by the water lance that suddenly flew at me that I stopped my chanting midway. As a result, my magic power exploded on the spot, causing me to suffer damage.

However, the total damage from the water lance and self-destruction is only 10.

「Oh… I see… I’ve become metal…」

I had completely forgotten about the existence of the Metal Princess. The maximum damage I can take is 5 due to my race’s characteristics.

「Fufufu… You will regret letting that thing damage me! 《Thunder Burst》!」

――Dogogogogogogogogogooooooonnn! ! ! !

「「「「「Jijijijijijijiji! ? ! ?」」」」」

「Fuu… Let’s move on」

Sure enough, there was another large ant at the end of the path… The Water Ant Queen was there, and I defeated her using the same tactics I used earlier.
